Hello

Unlike MS Project (unfortunately), liquidplanner doesn't have any concept of duration, only work. So, if someone has a task with work that'll take 8 hrs, liquidplanner assumes that person will complete it in one day.

BUT, that task will actually take a duration of 2 weeks. Sure, the work will be 8 hrs. But it's split across 2 weeks.

There are lots of cases where a person will NOT complete a task at one session. Rather he splits it across a period of time.

e.g., BC = Developing a business case may take a total of 10 hours. But the financial analyst needs to have daily reviews with all his various stakeholders until they're satisfied. So, spend 2 hrs/day over 5 days building his BC.

e.g., # 2: In requirements gathering or during the design phase where specs are being reviewed, the total time spent by the prod mgr or architect may be 20 hrs. But they'll only dedicate 2-3 hrs/day collecting feedback from everyone or working on it before signing-off on the requirements doc or the functional specs.

Why isn't there a way for a user to budget the amount of time that he'll spend on a task?

e.g., in the Work tab, specify that user will only dedicate x hrs/day on that task.

I love the other features in LP. Wish this feature was available.
